Mr. Wheelock's stock.

The horses of Mr. Wheelock, which
Budd Doble has in California, are about
to enter upon their turf season. A great
race is TO come off in San Francisco next
month. A telegram from San Francisco
says that Col. John W. Comfy has gone
to Los Angeles to look after the Oliver K
side of the coming trotting match, and
will probably return with Budd Doble
when the southern horse is brought up 10
the San Francisco track, which will be
ten or twelve days before the race Great
interest is manifested there over the CONS
ing race, as both horses are said TO be in
fine condition The track there is con
sidered faster than any in America, aud
It is expected that both horses will beat
their records. In addition to Oliver h,
Doble will bring from Los Angeles Bonnie
McGregor and Charley Hogan, An effor,
is being made TO arrange match between
Bonnie McGregor and J. Q. Some horse
men think the latter can beat any troiier
on the turf outside of Oliver & and Harry

ranged with Michael Burke, Conductor

get him as iiue brace as he could down
on the Illinois river, and leave them at a
place specified in Rock Island, Fuller to
get them C. O. D. A few days later
Fuller found two ducks at the place
agreed upon, and paying the sum re-
quired, thirty cents apiece. took them
and sent them to his home at Milwaukee.
Two days later Fuller was surprised to
receive the ducks back again with short
note asking for formula for cooking the
same. Fuller was amazed upon closer
examination to find two wooden decoy
ducks, and now be wants his sixty cents
back Fuller may find consolation in the
fact that he was not obliged to pay ex>
press rates on those ducks from Rock

The Long and short Of il

Speaking of the application of the
long and short haul clause to through
and local business high executive off
cial says that the western roads have
built up their tariffs on the decision that
the bill intends that leach common car
rier owning a railroad which forms a
part of continuous line or route re-
ceives ii pro rata share Of the through
rate. The question was, therefore. can
such common carrier charge upon the
same kind of freight passing over its
line iu the same direction for shorter
distance any more than its pro rata share
of the through rate. Taken in this
view, the phrase under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions
may be held to include as one of the
conditions that the freight upon which
the pro rata rate is accepted is carried
under a through rate for a long dis
lance, while the other is not so carried
or is carried under a through rate from
a different direction, and therefore
reaches the carrier under dissimilar cir
cumstances and conditions 1t can be
| clearly maintained that unless this latter
construction can be had. the through
traffic of the country would stop, foreign
commerce would be broken up, and all
railroad companies would handle only
local business, or such traffic as could be
carried at local rates. Upon this as,
sumption they held that they would be
justified in giving that section of the law
such construction as would permit the
handling of through traffic.

C., NJ, & ST. z. RUMoRs.

The Freeport BuItetin has the follow
ing interesting information concerning
rumOrs OF changes on the c., NJ. s ST.
P, one of which If founded on facts,
will be as sincerely regretted in Rock ISL
and as any where along the division
which terminates here:
For several days past there have been
various rumors aflost to the effect that
the repair shops and round house of the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
company in east Freeport are to be aban-
doned-given up entirely. Whether there
is any foundation in fact for this rumnr
10 one here seems TO know. This question
has been discussed by the St. Paul rail-
road men of this CITY, but that is all the
good it does them; they are no wiser for
their discussion. and when done they are
only left to wonder and ask themselves
What does it ali nean?" Since the run
ming of the night express on the St. Paul
west Of Freeport has been cut of, and for
what reason no one can tell. the people
Of Freep0rt are ready to hear almost any
unusual order come from the headquar-
tiers of the St. Paul company. 1t does OF
seem probable, however. that either the
shops or round house are TO be abandoned
as rumOrsd. but what will be done time
only can tell.
In reference TO the above. Mr.. l.. B.
Sanborn, foreman at the St. Paul shops
and round house for many years. said be
! h ID heard the Tumor that they were to be
abandoned. hat he bad DO information in
regard TO the matter from an officia
| source. and therefore he was not willing
to believe that anything of the kind would
be done.
Another rumor that causes much com.
ment along the line of the ST. Paul's Ra.
cine & Southwestern division is that
Superintendent d. L. Bush seriously
contemplaies resigning his position tC
accept a better thing with some Other
road. Should Mr. Bush decide positively
to resign and 60 elsewhere such actor
would cause extreme regret, as be is very
popular and has host of friends al
along the line: He is not only popular
but he is capable and active railroad
man, one OF the pest IN the service. He
grew up in the business on the St. Pau
road, working his way from the loves
round in the ladder to his present respon
sible position.
Rumor states as one Of the alleged
causes which might induce Mr.. Bush Il
resign is, that he thinks be has not beef
very well treated by the management.
Another rumor says that another goot
man, long time with the St. Paul com
pany is considering the question of send
ing in his resignation, and that man
whose friends are legion, is Master Me
chanic John Taylor, also of this division
Mr.. Taylor has been away for severa
days on trip out to Wichita. Kan. Hi

contemplates resigning is mistake, AM
